From The File

From the File is a non-fiction history podcast. Seasons run about ten episodes on one declassified operation. Season 1 covers the Bay of Pigs.

History from the documents. Every claim traced to a declassified file.

We read the friction between layers of the record — what the operation was, what the Agency wrote at the time, what they wrote later, what investigations added, and what is still blacked out or missing. No dramatized dialogue. No invented scenes. The promo hook is the actual document.

Hosts: Elliot (operational / contemporaneous record) and Nora (later record — investigations, contradictions, redactions).
